Inability of starter motor to turn over the engine

about the 1928 Ford Model A

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a brand-new 6 volt battery. I have a recently reconditioned starter motor. The vehicle is a 1928 Model A roadster. When I engage the starter motor, it will turn the engine one revolution and then stop. If I re-engage the starter motor again, it does the same thing--one revolution and stops. With the plugs out, the starter turns the motor easily. There are no stuck valves. Why won't the starter motor turn the engine over long enough to start?

I have a 350 gm crate motor in a 1931 ford. I am currently running with the engine hood off an noticed yesterday while driving that the upper radiator hose was collapsing intermittently while driving...
